A superb Racecar Engineering deep dive of the Oreca 07, of LMP2 fame. Probably the most important class of endurance racing, they kept prototype racing alive while all the big manufacturers swanned in and out as they pleased. Dropped from WEC next year, they will only be at Le Mans. #FIAWEC #EnduranceRacing
